St Cuthbert's Way follows the story of a 7th century saint who travelled through Scotland and northern England, spreading the Gospel and performing healing miracles. Beginning at Melrose, where the saint started his ministry, and ending at Holy Island, where he ended his days, the trail passes through scenery of great variety and beauty.
The walk takes in heather-clad hills, tranquil riverbanks and old Roman roads, visiting attractive villages and border towns along the way. Particular sites of interest include the ruin of Dryburgh Abbey, Cessford Castle, St Cuthbert's Cave and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, complete with its ruined abbey and spectacular castle.
Exploring the attractive borders towns of Melrose, Bowden and Jedburgh.
Admiring far-reaching views over the border country from the slopes of the Eildon Hills.
Spending the night on the tranquil Holy Island, with its 16th century Lindisfarne Castle and Priory, home to the Lindisfarne Gospels.

“Weather, transport, accommodation all excellent.”Ms Crawford, Ireland
“Very lucky with the weather given the unsettled forecast. Very well signposted for the whole of the walk. A lot more tarmac than we expected. The 2 days on the Cheviots were excellent as was the Eildon Hills.”Mrs McDougall, UK
“We loved the holiday. The walking is stunning and everything worked smoothly, so thank you.”Ms Adam, UK
“We had an incredible time. The places we stayed were great. People were helpful and very welcoming. Our luggage pick-up and drop off went smoothly. You make it so easy for us and we so appreciate the effort. And we plan to take another group in a few years! Again, you make it easy for us and we have not had any serious issues so we would be happy to continue using your services.”Mrs Raynor, USA
“Though relatively short this was a superb walk through quiet countryside, a mix of hill walking as well as riverside paths, woodland walks and tracks crossing farmland. Highly recommended. It helped that the weather was fine, sunny and (especially on the last two days) hot. This was our 7th walk with Contours.”Mr Gill, UK
“Arrangements were all efficiently made. Very good choice of accommodation and useful advice in the pack. Route maps and guide books helpful.”Mr Garner, UK
“We were lucky with the weather, and May was a great time to benefit from wild flowers in bloom and birdsong along the route. All the places we stayed were very welcoming of our dog and ourselves.”Mrs Woods, UK
“It was beautiful countryside, we had good weather and the places we stayed were very comfortable and friendly.”Ms Hunt, UK
